“It’s easy to imagine them trusting it less, and wondering what the government is so eager to keep them from asking. That’s the downside of playing national security card, and it’s one that Washington never seems to think about.”

Where the hell is Schumer on the midterms? Dis he pass away? At least Hakeem is out there rallying the troops. But Schumer is MIA. Time for change. Repost if U agree.

It is a depressing sign of the times that Marjorie Taylor Greene has come out more forcefully against the Trump administration trying to strip Ilhan Omar of her citizenship than the Democratic Party or any major newspaper.

I was just telling my wife that it feels like something has changed where Dems no longer let obvious MAGA lies fester uncontested.

New — I wrote about Republicans beclowning themselves heading into the midterms with clearly bullshit narratives about James Talarico and Rep. Ilhan Omar, and how the favorable conditions for Dems have produced a noticeable shift to nipping deranged stories in the bud.

@doordash - your delivery driver brought me this pizza that is clearly partially eaten. When I complained on your app, your “resolution” was to provide me a credit that is worth less than the pizza. I expect prevention and more than a replacement pizza at no cost brought to me within 45 minutes.

Noting the pattern of calling the restaurant to block the driver and calling DoorDash to get a legitimate refund for others/future use

2 resolutions I found: Called restaurant, blamed DoorDash, provided incident info as FYI and they said they would have the delivery driver blocked Called DoorDash support, got the refund edited to what it costs to bring a pizza to my door Generally satisfied but too much effort and still hungary

If one believes there is at least a 3 month lag between policy decisions that cause inflation and prices rising then they believe policy decisions that caused the early 2020’s inflation were made during Trump’s first term.

I was already aware that a massive, unprecedented spike in used vehicle prices was going to wreak havoc in the auto insurance industry in April 2021 (3 months into Biden’s term).

Y’all know gas costed a lot more in 2012 right? There are 103% more dollars in the world now vs then. Or, for those that prefer the (manipulated) CPI, the overall price level is 44% higher

GOP Gov. Mike DeWine: "It is not in the United States' interest, certainly not in Ohio's interest, to have people who are working every single day, who are supporting a family, buying houses, and really are contributing, and yank them out."

Many Democrats currently in office have not sufficiently used the positions of power we gave them to fight Maga so they need to be replaced with fighters. Leftists are currently better fighters.

His fall is forthcoming

I knew the scaffolding made no sense. They could have used two cherry pickers and called it a day. We waited all day and night because the scaffolding wasn’t there to do the work. It was there to hide the letters from view while they were being removed. Trump is embarrassed.

BREAKING: Ken Paxton’s own lawyer just endorsed James Talarico: “I defended Ken Paxton for years in the impeachment trial and in state criminal cases. But in my view, I think Ken has lost sight of his core mission, which is to represent the people of Texas.  That’s why I'm supporting you.”

Three years ago tomorrow, I very nervously gave this speech. I knew my career as a TV journalist was dunzo, cooked, filleted, kaput the morning I wrote it. (Thanks to Kat insisting I go for it anyway.) The end is awfully prescient at this exact second, though. Big ups to Scott Pelley for fighting.
